4 ways a fast lane could change your Internet service

The Web has been buzzing over news of a federal proposal that would allow the creation of "fast" and "slow" lanes online. As part of the plan, on which the Federal Communications Commission will vote, Internet service providers like Comcast and Verizon would be able to charge companies like Netflix and Amazon for faster access to customers.

The rules are still subject to change -- the FCC has to consider public comments and face scrutiny from lawmakers before they're finalized. But here are a few ways your Internet service could change if the fast lane plan is enacted: 1) Higher costs, 2) Slower speeds, 3) Prioritized content, and 4) Better service for some applications.
